was developed in Japan by Dr Jigoro Kano in

ancient Chinese art of Ju-Jitsu. Kano
insisted that Judo made the maximum use of
the mind and body and this is the
fundamental principle on which the sport is
based. The first World Championships
were held in 1957. Judo first appeared at
the 1964 Games in Tokyo, with women's Judo
becoming part of the Olympic programme in
1992.
